Local Weather History For September 23rd...
2010 (23rd-25th): Scattered showers and thunderstorms developed over the South Plains during the afternoon hours of the
23rd, 24th and 25th. This convection occurred beneath a tropical moisture plume that was associated with the remnants of
former Pacific Tropical Storm Georgette. Localized heavy tropical downpours accompanied the stronger storms. One such
storm impacted southwest Lubbock shortly before 3:30 PM on the 23rd. Rainfall amounts totaling between a half inch and an
inch reportedly fell over southwest Lubbock neighborhoods in the span of only fifteen minutes. Rain waters ponded a foot
high in two intersections and resulted in stalled vehicles along 98th Street at Slide and Indiana Avenues. A second storm
with similar rain totals occurred shortly before 4 PM on the 24th. As a result, ponding water reportedly covered a portion
of the 5100 block of 82nd Street. Additional showers and storms over the eastern South Plains resulted in nearly three and
a half inches of rainfall in a six hour period over portions of Crosby County during the afternoon of the 25th, where
ponding water filled many Crosbyton city streets.
